Our friendly JPIA Vice President for Non-Academics, Ervin Carl E. Rodriguez, has gladly given us bits and pieces in this interview about himself and his affiliation with JPIA. Read on to see what he has to say about things like his achievements, inspirations, and personal frustrations.
Our EO from Tondo, Manila, Ervin, a.k.a Echer, has formerly served as the JPIA Chairman – Non Academics and Vice President – Membership. He was first appointed by Rap Mangalindan when he was a sophomore.
When asked about his achievements as a college student, this is what he has to say: Sa Acads wala eh. Ha-ha. Nung first year, Most Active JPIAN (first year) ako. Saka yung umabot ako ngayong sem ng walang bagsak, achievement ko na ata yun.
Kuya Echer also says that he has joined many inter-school competitions, especially Non-Academic. “Pero sa acads isa pa lng. Yung Executive Officers’ Cup, 5th place kami out of 25. Kaso last year kasi 1st sila so hindi namin na-retain yung title. Malungkot tuloy,” he adds.
The next question asked is ‘What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now? Do you plan to pursue a career in politics?’ to which he responds “CPA na ko nun na nagwo-work sa isang Auditing Firm. Ayaw ko sa politics magulo dun.”
Describe yourself. What do you like and dislike about a person? about yourself?
Kuya Echer, ever so honest, replied “Sa tao wala ata. Yung mayabang siguro.”
‘Live your life to the fullest’ is his motto, he says. As to his principle in leadership, he says, “Maging responsible.”
Now, when asked the question ‘What spurs you on to move forward? Any drives? Inspirations?’ (Uh, inspiration. I stand corrected, Kuya Echer.), he gives this somewhat evasive answer: Inspirations? Inspiration lang pala kasi isa lang siya eh.haha.
Yeah. Go figure.
Next question: Do you have any personal frustrations? How do you cope with it? Any advice to people with the same problem?
“Maging magaling na singer. Kumakanta na lang ako sa CR. Ha-ha-ha! Bawi na lang sila sa Videoke,” he responds. And true, nothing like a karaoke to help frustrated singers.
As for the question ‘You are well-qualified to run for a position in JPIA-NCR. Why did you choose to run for the local chapter instead?’, he gives us this answer: Masyado na kasing busy sa school and mukhang di ko kakayanin yung time requirement kapag officer ka ng NCR.
Hey, at least we have Kuya Echer all for ourselves, don’t we?
When asked what he thinks of this year’s set of federation officers, he says, “Sana. Kaya namin to. Kami pa. Stay positive lang.”
As for his message for us JPIANs, this is what he has to say:
“Sana nag-e-enjoy kayo sa mga events namin. Minsan lang tayo maging College Student kaya explore other things in life while studying. Baka kasi may talent ka pala di mo pa lang nadidiscover. Sali lang kayo sa mga susunod pa naming activities and sana support niyo din yung mga sumasali na blockmate niyo. Hanggang diyan na lang. Godbless JPIANs and future CPAs!”
